Groundbreaking Reverb Emulation Technology
The Pure Plate Reverb plug-in was engineered by the modeling experts at Universal Audio to be a no-compromise emulation of this classic effect. By capturing all of the sonic and mechanical nuances of the steel plate, transducers, and dampers, the Pure Plate Reverb plug-in gives vocals, guitars, strings, and synths a lush, satisfying space that gently flatters any source.
Easy to Use
Whether you’re tracking in realtime using an Apollo interface, or mixing in your DAW, Pure Plate Reverb’s intuitive controls deliver musical results for beginners and pros alike. The ultra-effective Baxandall-type Bass and Treble controls sculpt the timbre of the reverb, while the Low Cut Hz input filters and Pre Delay further season the reverb’s character. Finally, the Balance control lets you place your “space” perfectly in the stereo spectrum. No matter the source, Pure Plate Reverb gives you the rich analog dimension and depth of an old-school plate reverb system.
“Warm, lush, and easy to use — Pure Plate Reverb gives me the classic plate sound.”
– Peter Mokran (Christina Aguilera, The Flaming Lips)
“A beautiful plate never makes something sound like it has ‘reverb’ on it...it just sounds like a record. My Pure Plate Reverb presets were created to reflect this aesthetic.”
– Chuck Zwicky (Prince, Soul Asylum, Reggie Watts)
“Pure Plate Reverb is the best plate reverb plug-in hands down, and possibly the best reverb plug-in.”
– Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Future Islands)Watch The Reviews

Awesome!
I love this especially in console for my Hi-Z guitar input. Allows me to easily practice guitar with a pleasing tone without even opening my DAW!
D. Walton
Plate reverb enthusiast here
For me, my best friend as a guitarist is a quality plate reverb. I love plate because, it gives me all of the reverb I need while Not hindering the attack.
UAD has hit this one out of the park!
Extremely lush without getting lost.
There are performance tests that I do like stabs etc. This past all of them with flying colors!O. Kudin
Nice reverb
Very simple with good sound.
Great for lo-fi synths from the 70s and 80s.
Good for guitar with extra M/S correction on fx sendD. Di Paola
Great flexibility and good sounding reverb
Reverb easy to tailor to fit the track or bus depending on the source. Great flexibility of intervention due to the parameters. Another bullseye from UA!

Simple UI, but sounds very good
Excellent plate reverb emulation. Does not have that unpleasent metallic "clang" many others do. This is very smooth. UI is very intuitive. My choice of plate reverbs at the moment.
